Perhaps Love Lyrics

Artist: John Denver
Album: Best Of John Denver

This song appears on ten albums, and was first released on the Seasons of the Heart Album, where John sings it solo. It has also been recorded on the Greatest Hits Vol 3, Favourites, John Denver (Italian), The Very Best of John Denver (Double CD), Country Classics, The Country Roads Collection and The Rocky Mountain Collection Albums in a duet with Placido Domingo. A new studio version appears on the Love Again and A Celebration of Life Albums.

Perhaps love is like a resting placeA shelter from the stormIt exists to give you comfortIt is there to keep you warmAnd in those times of troubleWhen you are most aloneThe memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a windowPerhaps an open doorIt invites you to come closeIt wants to show you moreAnd even if you lose yourselfAnd dont know what to doThe memory of love will see you through

Oh, love to some is like a cloudTo some as strong as steelFor some a way of livingFor some a way to feelAnd some say love is holding onAnd some say letting goAnd some say love is everythingAnd some say they dont know

Perhaps love is like the oceanFull of conflict, full of changeLike a fire when its cold outsideOr thunder when it rainsIf I should live foreverAnd all my dreams come trueMy memories of love will be of you

by John on 5/23/2009 7:42pmOne day while working out in the yard this song came on the radio. I thought I was alone as it was early in morning so I began to sing alone. I did not know that the neighbors daughter was in the yard and heard me. She said it was a very moving song and she liked my voice and would I mind if I sang it at the church for her wedding in June....Guess I'll have to practice..........

by Joann G. on 6/10/2012 7:00pmthis is the song my mother walked down the aisle to at my wedding. she was a woman u couldn't get close to, maybe i didn't try. Perhaps Love was a beautiful description of it, which I didn't realize at the time. also, Annie's Song was the song my husband & I danced to at that wedding. I miss John very much.

by Laurie M. on 6/27/2012 1:48pmI just heard this song for the first time, even though I have been a John Denver fan for 30 years...I have to say I was deeply moved. So much so that I want it played at my own funeral. Beautiful and precious. John was truly a gift to the world.
